I opened my eyes and looked where we are. I had a nightmare. The bus was still driving and I saw two girls there. They were laughing and saying something. It must be very funny. I saw that sun was going down and that we were driving for three hours now.
                          
Girl: Hey. What's wrong with you two? You're so dirty.
                          
Me: Non of your bussiness.
                          
Girl2: Well that was rude. 
                          
Me: I don't care. Don't talk to me, I'm not in the good mood.
                          
Girl: Well, you should apologize to me.
                          
Me: For what? You made a bad comment and I just responded like I thought it was right. So you should apologize. Leave me alone now.
                          
I turned to Mac and he was still sleeping. One more hour Mac and we'll be close to Candy. I hope that she's okay. I miss her so much. If anything happens to her I won't forgive myself. I'll rather die than be without her.
                          
Girl: Are you two Marcus and Martinus?
                          
Me: Yes, now be quiet.
                          
Girl2: Can I take a picture of you two and post it?!
                          
Me: No!
                          
Girl2: Why?
                          
Me: Because we don't want anyone to worry!
                          
She looked shocked at me. I really don't care rn. I started to cry without any reason. Oh, wait, Candy. I started to cry even harder. They looked at me sad and hugged me. I trued to get away from them even when I knew that this is what I need.
                          
Girl: I'm sorry. My name's Giovanna, but friends call me Gi or Vanna.
                          
Girl2: And I'm sorry too. I'm Dalia.
                          
Me: W-w-el...I'm so-rry too.
                          
Gi: Don't cry. We didn't mean to be rude or anything. We were just hyper. You don't see everyday Europe's popstars, right? And they're know everywhere else.
                          
I smile a little. Candy would ve proud of me rn. I need to look for her with a smile and I shouldn't cry. I'll try for you my love.
                          
Me: Where are you two going?
                          
Dalia: Far away from here. Parents were always treatening us. One time we barely survived. They wanted to get rid of us, but then they changed their minds and we were their maids, but every time we did a little thing wrong we got punishment.
                          
Me: I'm sorry to hear that.
                          
A thought of Candy came in my mind. Her father shoot her and she was bad for a long time. For me that was the worst time of my life. I'm happy that they're in prison now.
                          
Me: I've got a friend and she kinda had the same story as you two just a little worse.
                          
Dalia: How could it be worse?
                          
Me: Her fathed shoot her and her mother almost killed her. Then she had tumor and she fought for some time, but then she moved in Germany, but we didn't know that she was there. Her parents are in prison now and she has got five siblings. Her true family. But some time ago someone kidnapped her and we're looking for her.
                          
Gi: That's very heart breaking story. I thought that we had the worst life I could imagine, but I guess she have worse life than us.
                          
Me: I've got an idea. Come find her with us and then in germany. You could live with us until we find you a loving family. What do you think?
                          
Gi: The best idea ever.
                          
They hugged me and I closed my eyes. One more hour and we're gonna be on the end. I closed my eyes and thought that Dalia and Gi are around 10 and 12, nothing more. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't, but then a driver started to talk to me.
                          
Driver: Hello young boy. Aren't you going to sleep?
                          
Me: I can't.
                          
Driver: I heard all of what you said. Is this girl your girlfriend?
                          
Me: Well, it's complicated.
                          
Driver: I've got time.
                          
He seemed like a good man. Ge was kinda old, but that didn't bother me. I told him all that happened that day when they took Candy and he listened to every word. His expression was surprised, sad, scared sometimes and more.
                          
Driver: Who do you think kidnapped her?
                          
Me: Liam, her classmate back in Germany, I think.
                          
Driver: That sounds familiar to me. 
                          
Me: He's missing in Germany and he's alone, I think. He's kinda tall, like me and the same age as me. I don't know anything else about him.
                          
Driver: I saw that boy one time. He said that he's looking for something. Then he said that he probably won't survive.
                          
Me: He really tried to kill his self!!
                          
He looked shocked at me, but continued driving. Liam's a real psycho. I need to save her from him. Who knows what else he's capable of. I closed my eyes and think of something else.
                          
Me: How long will we drive now?
                          
Driver: About an hour. 
                          
Me: Thanks.
                          
I moved a bit and put my haed on Marcus' shoulder. He was really tired. But I'm not. A little sleep is enough for me. I was looking out of the window and talked a lettle with the bus driver and then we stopped. The last stop. I woke Dalia, Gi and Marcus. Marcus was first looking at them, but then I explained all to him on the way to the forest.
                          
Mac: Well if that's so...I'll be happy to have them with us!
                          
Me: Thanks bro.
                          
Mac: I'm sure you two are going to help us a lot!
                          
Gi: Sure.
                          
We walked a long time and it was dark outside. We were in front of the forest now. I felt my phone vibrated. Message from unknown number. I read it.
                          
I see that you're very clever. Well, let's see if you're clever enough.
'I'm inside, but outside, in the middle of nothing.' Find me now. Just so you know, Candy is there with me.
                          
They looked scared at me. Wait, how can you be in the middle of nothing? I guess we'll need to find out. We tried to found out what this means and we found some things.
                          
Mac: It could mean that they're somewhere where are things around them.
                          
Gi: Maybe in the house?
                          
Me: No, it's outside.
                          
Gi: Dalia, tell us, I know you're very good at this.
                          
Dalia: Okay. Inside but outside could mean that she's in the house or in...in...the...cage! That's it! The cage! And in the middle of nothing is in the middle of the forest. That was kinda easy to know.
                          
I looked at her schocked. The youngest here, but the most clever. So with the fear inside of me, I stepped in the forest with everyone else. And the first thing I saw was far away. We walked there and saw...
                          
Just two or three more parts and then I'll end this book.
